Bondurant & McCraken have one of the all-time bloodlines via Ivory Empress.
The following legends appear in just one generation alone:

Bull Dog
Blue Larkspur
Count Fleet
Discovery
Man o' War
Mahmoud
Polynesian
Reigh Count
Sir Gallahad
Teddy

It would be cool for McCraken to continue on down the Derby trail just to see the pedigree folks dig deep.

If memory serves me correctly, Ivory Empress's second dam, Tuesday Evening, cost over a million bucks as a yearling. A huge amount for a Nodouble.

Tuesday Evening sold for $75K as a weanling to Frank Witham in 1983.

The million dollar yearling was the younger full sister (1984), who was basically never heard from again after being sent to Europe.

Betting against the misspelled horse with both fists!

Thanks. It had been awhile.
